Ha. Didn't think we felt the same way about each other. I was a lot like you when I was your age. If you really have been pathetic this whole time, you're not self-indulgent about the same way Ayaka is. She's fucking drenched in the whiny sad girl act, like she wants you to feel bad for her or some shit and then acts like that makes her a good person.

Guys like Richard need to have an Ayaka to feed their ego. Good excuse to be violent if it's to defend a lady's honor.

[Shiv doesn't see the nobility in it. Maybe she'd kill to protect someone, but doing it solely so somebody else doesn't have to dirty their hands? No, she would want them both to be in the same boat.]

It's not your fault they didn't have the balls to admit it. It just means they're the fucking cowards.
